A new decarbonylation reaction is observed for [(K²-acetate)Pd(K²-diphosphine)]⁺ complexes. Gas-phase IR experiments identify the product as [CH₃Pd(OP(Ph₂)CH₂PPh₂)]⁺. DFT calculations uncovered a plausible mechanism involving O atom abstraction by the diphosphine ligand within the coordination sphere to yield the acetyl complex, [CH₃COPd(OP(Ph₂)CH₂PPh₂)]⁺, which then undergoes decarbonylation.
